A message from the UN Secretary to the members of the TNI that will be assigned to Central Africa

Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres sends messages to members of the TNI who will serve as peacekeepers in Central Africa. That statement he delivered when he visited the Peace Preservation Center at Sentul, Bogor, Monday (19 / 10).

"Thank you for your commitment to peace. I came here today to pay my respects to you for your courage in running this important mission," he said.

The peacekeepers, said the Guterres, will face the world's most dangerous environment at the same time, relieving tension, overseeing a very important supply of aid, protecting civilians, and creating space for political solutions.

Furthermore, he said the Blue United Nations helmet was a source of hope in some of the most violent places in the world. "For me, they are also a source of tremendous pride," reveal this UN Secretary.

The Governor told me about his experience during his 20-year partnership with Central Africa as the High Commissioner for Refugee and Secretary-General.

"This country is one of the poorest countries in the world. It's a country that up until recently, hardly has a government presence in most of its territory," he said.

While there are still many proliferations in the various groups, the Guterres say they have settled the majority of the treaty with the government and began to surrender their weapons.

"Therefore, the Central African Republic is a success story that still needs to be perfected. Your mission will be very important to ensure that we can fully embody stability in the Central African Republic," expose the Guterres.

That stability includes ensuring that state's institutions can perform functions throughout the territory, remaining armed groups will gradually integrate in the process of peace, and make sure this country can enter the development phase, given extreme poverty and suffering that people have suffered.

"Your mission will become very important, and at a crucial moment, for operations in the Central African Republic," reveal Guterres again.

He then said, "With the success of your task, it's likely that we can gradually lower the scale of the mission in the Central African Republic."

Indonesian peacekeeping forces, continuing the Guterres, came in a very important moment, when the world needed to uphold what had been achieved and ensure that the success had collapsed into the creation of the Central African Republic as a normal country.

Guterres also said the people of Central Africa would greatly appreciate the presence of peace forces. Indonesia will join Portugal's peace forces who are already there.

"Therefore, I wish you good luck on your assignment, and I am very confident that the people of Central African Republic will keep a tremendous gratitude, not only to the UN peacekeeping operations, but also to the people of Indonesia that you represent with great courage and courage."
